If any person fails or refuses to

or agents of the division, or to furnish the statistics, data, and information required
to be furnished to the division by the provisions of articles 40 to 47 of this title, or
refuses to permit an inspection as provided in said articles, or being in attendance
refuses to be sworn or examined, or to answer a question, or to produce a book or
paper when ordered to do so by the director or any of the deputies, agents, or
referees of the division, the director may apply to the district court, upon proof by
affidavit of the facts, for an order, returnable in not less than three days nor more
than five days, directing such person to show cause before the district court which
made the order why such person should not be committed to jail. Upon the return of
such order, the district court shall examine under oath such person and give the

the act which said person was required to do or until said person is discharged
according to law.
