If any individual shall absent himself from the jurisdiction of this Commonwealth or conceal himself for the purpose of avoiding service of a subpoena issued by the commission, or its representative; or shall remove relevant data, books, records, papers, or other documents out of this Commonwealth for the purpose of preventing their examination by the commission; or shall destroy or conceal any such data, books, records, papers or other documents for such purpose, he shall be adjudged guilty of contempt; and any court of common pleas may impose a fine of not less than $100 for each day during the continuance of such refusal, neglect, concealment, or removal; and if such court shall find that the neglect, refusal, or concealment, or the removal or destruction of data, books, records, papers, or other documents by such witness, has been occasioned by the advice or consent of any party to the proceedings before the commission, or in anywise aided or abetted by such party, then, in default of payment of such fine by the individual in contempt, the same shall be paid by such party and may be recovered from such party by an action in the name of the Commonwealth, in any court of common pleas, as other like fines and penalties are now by law recoverable. Imprisonment for contempt shall be by commitment to the county jail of the county in which such hearing is held.
