U.S. Code as of:
01/03/05
Section 7. Witnesses before arbitrators; fees; compelling attendance
The arbitrators selected either as prescribed in this title or
otherwise, or a majority of them, may summon in writing any person
to attend before them or any of them as a witness and in a proper
case to bring with him or them any book, record, document, or paper
which may be deemed material as evidence in the case. The fees for
such attendance shall be the same as the fees of witnesses before
masters of the United States courts. Said summons shall issue in
the name of the arbitrator or arbitrators, or a majority of them,
and shall be signed by the arbitrators, or a majority of them, and
shall be directed to the said person and shall be served in the
same manner as subpoenas to appear and testify before the court; if
any person or persons so summoned to testify shall refuse or
neglect to obey said summons, upon petition the United States
district court for the district in which such arbitrators, or a
majority of them, are sitting may compel the attendance of such
person or persons before said arbitrator or arbitrators, or punish
said person or persons for contempt in the same manner provided by
law for securing the attendance of witnesses or their punishment
for neglect or refusal to attend in the courts of the United
States.
