Although the right to freedom of expression has become more narrowly circumscribed for everyone in recent years, the abridgments of this right that the courts have held may constitutionally be imposed on public employees are exceptionally extensive. This has been justified basically in terms of the doctrines that public employment is a privilege which the government may extend or withdraw at will and upon such terms as it chooses, and that denial of public employment does not constitute punishment. The upshot is that in this area the government may act with almost complete arbitrariness, even when basic rights such as freedom of expression are involved. A considerable amount of administrative and legislative discretion in matters of public personnel management seems clearly to be essential to modern government. Crucial issues arise, however, when in the exercise of their discretion administrative authorities or legislatures invade the constitutional rights of public employees.

For over two hundred years organized labor has participated in the political activity of the United States. In the following statement, Professor Lloyd G. Reynolds of Yale expressed his opinion on organized labor's long history in political action. He stated: "It is often debated whether unions should 'go into Politics,' really, they have no choice in the matter. The are automatically in politics because they exist under a legal and political system which has been generally critical of union activities. The conspiracy suit and the injunction judge have been a problem for unions from the earliest times. A minimum of political activity is essential in order that unions may be able to engage in collective bargaining on even terms." The type of labor political activity and the methods employed have varied from period to period. With a little study, however, it was possible to detect a constant evolution of labor political philosophy. At the present time labor political philosophy has been best expressed in the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations' Committee on Political Education. This Committee has represented a philosophy which was born out of many years of trial and experience. The problem discussed in this study has been concerned with the development and effectiveness of the Committee on Political Education. Statement of the Problem. The purpose of this paper was to study the historical development of the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations' Committee on Political Education and to assess its effectiveness as an interest group in the United States political sphere. Although the Committee on Political Education was a product of the mid-twentieth century, labor union political activity in the United States can be traced back to the eighteenth century. Much of the Committee on Political Education's philosophy of political activity has been developed over a number of years, and an effort will be made to trace the various aspects which have influenced labor's political endeavors. The growth of union political activity, therefore, is deserving of as much attention as the present status of the Committee on Political Education. Interest groups can use pressure in various ways in order to influence and win the support of the American people. Labor, being one of the primary interest groups, can and does exert its influence in many ways. In summary, then, an effort was made to trace the development of labor union political activity as it evolved from the past into its present-day organization, the Committee on Political Education; and to assess the Committee's political effectiveness.

Non e la questione dell'autorita del Papa in materia di fede, ne della sua supremazia spirituale su tutti i fedeli, che vogliamo trattare, ma l'origine dell'indipendenza politica del Papa da ogni sovrano, governante o stato, o meglio della sua sovranita temporale - sovranita che nel Medio Evo lo elevava alla alta dignita di Supremo Signore e Giudice dei principi e dei popoli cristiani. ; N/A

Although most of the 25,000 letters Maier received every week at The height of his popularity, were of a favorab1e nature, he was labeled by some as a Fascist, a Nazi, anti-semitic, a Republican, a Democrat, and with other contradictory accusations. This study was made to discover just what his political and economic views were. He was neither a politician nor an economist but he did believe that in every area of human activity the truth must be affirmed. Since Maier often violently contradicted the political and economic views of many clergymen and other intellectuals, this thesis will also endeavor to determine whether Maier's position and predictions have been validated by later historical research.

Even before Mr. Marbury, the public employee and his government have frequently found themselves on opposite sides of the counsel table. Not that public employees are a particularly litigious lot. Faced, however, with the willingness of administrators to deal with them politically and the unwillingness of legislators to protect them adequately, their resort to the courts was inevitable. But the courts also often provided inadequate protection. Decisions which combined ancient concepts with more than a touch of political realism accorded scant recognition to the substantial interests of the ever-growing number of public employees. In recent years, the traditional cliches in at least two areas of the law of officers and employees appear to have undergone if not an agonizing, at least a searching, reappraisal. These areas, the subject of this paper, are: first, the constitutionality of conditions of public employment, such as restrictions against political activity, invoking the privilege against self-incrimination and joining certain organizations; and, second, union activity by public employees.
