Sec. 8125. Misbehavior at proceedings

    If an individual--
        (1) disobeys or resists a lawful order or process in proceedings 
    under this subchapter before the Secretary of Labor or his 
    representative; or
        (2) misbehaves during a hearing or so near the place of hearing 
    as to obstruct it;

the Secretary or his representative shall certify the facts to the 
district court having jurisdiction in the place where he is sitting. The 
court, in a summary manner, shall hear the evidence as to the acts 
complained of and if the evidence warrants, punish the individual in the 
same manner and to the same extent as for a contempt committed before 
the court, or commit the individual on the same conditions as if the 
forbidden act had occurred with reference to the process of or in the 
presence of the court.

    The words ``the district court of the United States for the District 
of Columbia'' are omitted as included in ``district court''. The words 
``under this subchapter'' are added for clarity since this section which 
was formerly a subsection referred to the subsection preceding it which 
identified the proceedings.
    Administration of this subchapter was transferred to the Secretary 
of Labor by section 1 of 1950 Reorg. Plan No. 19, 64 Stat. 1271 (see 
section 8145).
    Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable 
and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.
