SEC. 5. Section seven of the same Act is amended read as follows: "SEC. 7. For the purpose of carrying out the provision of this Act, the Commission, or any member thereof, or division thereof, may hold such hearings and sit and act at such times and places, and take such testimony, as the Commission may, by internal rule, provide. “The Commission is authorized to secure directly from executive department, bureau, office, agency or instrumentality, suggestions, estimates and statistics for the purposes of this Act; and each such department, bureau, office, agency or instrumentality is authorized and directed to furnish such information, suggestions, and estimates directly to the Commission, upon request by the chairman or vice-chairman of said Commission or of any division or member thereof. "The Commission or any division or member thereof shall have the power to administer oaths or affirmations to witnesses appearing before the Commission or before such division or member thereof, summon witnesses by subpoena, and by subpoena duces tecum require the production of books, papers, records or documents which may be needed as evidence of any matter under inquiry. Any person, properly served, who refuses or neglects to appear before the Commission, shall be liable to punishment by the Supreme Court or the court of first instance, as the case may be, in the same manner and to the same extent as if he had disobeyed a subpoena issued out of the Supreme Court or the court of first instance in a matter pending before either of said courts."
