Search 41 U.S.C. § 39 : US Code - Section 39: Hearings on Walsh-Healey provisions by Secretary of Labor; witness fees; failure to obey order; punishment

Upon his own motion or on application of any person affected by
any ruling of any agency of the United States in relation to any
proposal or contract involving any of the provisions of sections 35
to 45 of this title, and on complaint of a breach or violation of
any representation or stipulation as provided in said sections, the
Secretary of Labor, or an impartial representative designated by
him, shall have the power to hold hearings and to issue orders
requiring the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the
production of evidence under oath. Witnesses shall be paid the same
fees and mileage that are paid witnesses in the courts of the
United States. In case of contumacy, failure, or refusal of any
person to obey such an order, any District Court of the United
States or of any Territory or possession within the jurisdiction of
which the inquiry is carried on, or within the jurisdiction of
which said person who is guilty of contumacy, failure, or refusal
is found, or resides or transacts business, upon the application by
the Secretary of Labor or representative designated by him, shall
have jurisdiction to issue to such person an order requiring such
person to appear before him or representative designated by him, to
produce evidence if, as, and when so ordered, and to give testimony
relating to the matter under investigation or in question; and any
failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by said
court as a contempt thereof; and shall make findings of fact after
notice and hearing, which findings shall be conclusive upon all
agencies of the United States, and if supported by the
preponderance of the evidence, shall be conclusive in any court of
the United States; and the Secretary of Labor or authorized
representative shall have the power, and is authorized, to make
such decisions, based upon findings of fact, as are deemed to be
necessary to enforce the provisions of sections 35 to 45 of this
title.
