j HOME SECRETARY'S PLANS. MR. COOK'S "BLACK" COAL FIRE. LONDON, Oct. 20. Tho King to-day presided at a meeting of the Privy Council at Sandringham and signed the proclamations declaring a continuance of the state of emergency in view of the coal stoppage, and summon- ( ing Parliament to meet next Monday to I renew the regulations, j Sir William Joynson-Hicks, the Home ! Secretary, ■who was expected to arrive at Sandringham this morning to attend the Privy Council, was suddenly summoned there yesterday afternoon, and dined with the King. He had accepted an engagement to dine with the Dominion Prime Ministers in London yesterday evening, and had to cancel this. In political circles there is some speculation regarding the alteration of the Home Secretary's plans, and the rumour was current to-day that a new move in the coal dispute is imminent. After the men who had attempted to kidnap him had left the Nottingham hotel, where he was staying, the miners' secretary, Mr. A. J". Cook, went to his bedroom and ordered a fire to be made. The coal used in the grate had been produced by "blacklegs."
