hold, the Chairman of the Commission or any member thereof
may issue summons for witnesses, and all summons so issued
shall be served by the Sheriff of Baltimore City or by the
Sheriff of the particular county. If any witness so sum-
moned shall refuse to testify, the official issuing the summons
shall report the facts to the Baltimore City Court or
the Circuit Court of the particular county, as the case
may be, and said Court is hereby authorized and direct-
ed to proceed by attachment against said witness in all
respects as if said neglect or refusal had been by a witness
summoned to appear in said Court in a case pending before
it. At the hearing, the person charged shall be entitled to
be represented by counsel. Any person aggrieved by any rule,
regulation or order of the Commission shall have the right to
apply for review thereof to the Circuit Court, sitting in equity,
of the county or to the Circuit Court or the Circuit Court No.
2 of Baltimore City, as the case may be, wherein is situated
the establishment affected thereby, on the grounds that such
rule, regulation or order is impracticable of attainment or
unlawful. Such application shall be by petition which shall
be filed in the clerk's office of such court within sixty (60)
days after the date of the rule, regulation or order complained
of. The Commission shall be named as a party defendant to
such petition. Within fifteen (15) days after such petition is
so filed, the petitioner shall serve on the Executive Secretary
or any member of the Commission a copy of the petition, and
within fifteen (15) days thereafter the answer of the Com-
mission shall be filed, whereupon such cause shall be to issue
and stand ready for hearing upon fifteen (15) days notice to
either party. The filing of such application shall operate to
suspend the rule, regulation or order complained of until the
validity of such rule, regulation or order shall have been finally
adjudicated. The said court shall hear the proceeding de
novo, shall thereupon determine in writing all matters of law
and fact, and render its decision approving, setting aside or
modifying the rule, regulation or order complained of and
the clerk of said court shall certify the same to the Commis-
sion. The Commission or any party aggrieved by any such
final decision of the court shall have, regardless of the amount
involved, the right of appeal to the Court of Appeals of Mary-
land. The procedure shall be the same as that provided by
law concerning appeals in civil cases and such appeals shall
have precedence over all cases except criminal cases.

35. Any person found guilty of violating any duly authorized
rule, regulation or order of the Commission shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof, each vio-
lation shall be punished by fine of not more than Five Hundred
