The examiner when appointed shall take an oath to well and faithfully perform the duties imposed upon such examiner, and shall thereafter have the same power to administer oaths, compel the production of evidence, and the attendance of witnesses as the secretary of labor would have if sitting in the same matter. The examiner shall receive such compensation as may be provided by law or as fixed by the secretary.
