Section 804. Reports; confidential information

A board of inquiry shall,
  after investigation, make a final report to the commissioner as  to  the
  matters  referred to it and may make interim reports. Unless the strike,
  lock-out or other industrial dispute is  terminated  or  adjusted  prior
  thereto,  or is re-submitted by all parties to the dispute for voluntary
  settlement to the state board of mediation, any final report of a  board
  of  inquiry  shall  be made public by the commissioner. The commissioner
  may make public any interim report of a board of  inquiry  or  any  part
  thereof,  in  such  manner  as  he deems proper. Provided, however, that
  there shall be excluded from any report or publication authorized by the
  board or the  commissioner,  any  information,  other  than  information
  having  a  direct  bearing  on the dispute, obtained by the board in the
  course of its inquiry as to any labor union  or  as  to  any  individual
  business  (whether  carried on by person, firm or corporation) if at the
  time such information is supplied to the board the person  who  supplies
  it  represents  to the board that it is confidential information and the
  board is satisfied  that  it  is  information  which  is  not  available
  otherwise  than  through  evidence  given  at  the  inquiry, unless with
  respect to such evidence so presented as confidential and  found  to  be
  not  otherwise  available the board procures from the labor union or the
  person, firm or corporation the consent to publication;  nor  shall  any
  individual  member  of the board or any person concerned in the inquiry,
  without such consent, disclose any such information.
