Move to Dust President Wilson Will Be Discussed
 Again Today. .'.5

Members of the executive commit tee of the state federation of labor in session yesterday at Little Rock and which is understood tc have dis cussed and considered resolutions de- manding the busting of President Tom A. Wilson, last, night flatly re- fused to make any statement what ever about the business which came before the body during the day.
 None of them would admit that the executive board had taken offlcia! cognizance of the resolutions demand ing the busting of the president, and which had been adopted by the cen tral trades councils of Fort Smith and Little Rock. Neither would they deny that the executive board had discussed the resolutions. They would not talk at all, except to say the executive board will be in session again today.
 The opinion prevails in certain cir. cles usually we'll informed, however, that the executive board will not act favorably on the movement to oust President Wilson, the expectation be- ing that the executive board wt'i take no action whatever on the matter, merely allowing the resolutions to he received and filed.
