TITLE 18--CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART II--CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
CHAPTER 233--CONTEMPTS
Sec. 3692. Jury trial for contempt in labor dispute cases
In all cases of contempt arising under the laws of the United States
governing the issuance of injunctions or restraining orders in any case
involving or growing out of a labor dispute, the accused shall enjoy the
right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the State and
district wherein the contempt shall have been committed.
This section shall not apply to contempts committed in the presence
of the court or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the
administration of justice nor to the misbehavior, misconduct, or
disobedience of any officer of the court in respect to the writs, orders
or process of the court.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 844.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on section 111 of Title 29, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Labor (Mar. 23,
1932, ch. 90, Sec. 11, 47 Stat. 72).
The phrase ``or the District of Columbia arising under the laws of
the United States governing the issuance of injunctions or restraining
orders in any case involving or growing out of a labor dispute'' was
inserted and the reference to specific sections of the Norris-LaGuardia
Act (sections 101-115 of Title 29, U.S.C., 1940 ed.) were eliminated.
Taft-Hartley Injunctions
Former section 111 of Title 29, Labor, upon which this section is
based, as inapplicable to injunctions issued under the Taft-Hartley Act,
see section 178 of Title 29.
