before it, the board and each member thereof shall have the same powers
respecting administering oaths, compelling the attendance of witnesses, and the
production of documentary evidence, and examining witnesses, as are possessed
by circuit courts.  In case of disobedience by any person of any order of the
board or any member thereof, or of any subpoena issued by it or any member, or
the refusal of any witness to testify to any matter regarding which the witness
may lawfully be questioned, any circuit judge, on application by the board or
any member thereof, shall compel obedience as in the case of disobedience of
the requirements of a subpoena issued by a circuit court, or a refusal to
testify therein. [L 1949, c 397, pt of §1; RL 1955, §59-21; am L 1965, c 96,
