§383-100  Protection against
self-incrimination.  No person shall be excused from attending or
testifying or producing material, books, papers, correspondence, memoranda, and
other records before the director of labor and industrial relations, any duly
authorized representative of the director, the referee, or any substitute
referee, or in obedience to the subpoena of any of them, in any cause or
proceeding before them or any of them, on the grounds that the testimony and
evidence, documentary or otherwise, required of the person may tend to
incriminate the person or subject the person to a penalty or forfeiture; but no
individual shall be prosecuted or subjected to any penalty or forfeiture for or
on account of any transaction, matter, or thing concerning which the individual
is compelled, after having claimed the individual's privilege against
self-incrimination, to testify or produce evidence, documentary or otherwise,
except that the individual so testifying shall not be exempt from prosecution
and punishment for perjury committed in so testifying. [L 1939, c 219, §10(i);
