Felipe Carrillo, Staunch Fighter For Rights of Mexican Workers, Slain by Counter-Revolutionists By BERTRAM D. WOLFE (Federated Press Staff Correspondent) MEXICO CITY.—‘“Felipe Carrillo is dead! He was shot fh a prison yard by a counter-revolutionary firing squad.” The Mexican proletariat has lost its biggest figure, With a shock we heard the report as it ran around the capital. The weeks of rumors and anxious waiting for news on the part of his friends and admirers have ended in this awful certainty—Felipe Carrillo, labor governor of Yucatan, organizer and president of the Leagues of Resistance, leader of the Workers Party of the southeast, has been shot.
