To assist him in the performance of his duties, the Labor Commissioner shall appoint not more than thirty deputy inspectors. Seventeen of such deputies shall be qualified as safety inspectors and shall devote special attention to the causes and the prevention of industrial accidents in all places of employment in the state. Such deputies shall have the same power as the commissioner has in the Department of Factory Inspection. The commissioner and all deputies appointed under authority hereof are authorized to lodge a complaint with any prosecuting officer for the violation of any provision of this chapter, and, if such prosecuting officer refuses to prosecute such offense, the commissioner or his deputy may present such complaint to the judge of the court having jurisdiction, and, if such judge finds that sufficient facts to warrant prosecution have been presented, he shall forthwith order the prosecuting officer to issue a warrant for such offender. Any prosecuting officer refusing to issue such warrant when so ordered shall be fined not more than twenty-five dollars for each offense.
