Democratic iron and steel tariff revis-
ion bill was favorably reported to the
house today by chairman Underwood OF
the ways and means committee The
Republican members 4 the COMMITTEES
were given the right 70 file an adverse
report The committee had adopted the
bin by a strict party vote.
"a survey OF the iron and steel in
dustry," says the majority report, filed
with the bin. shows convincingly that
it has reached a position Of such
strength and independence that the in
dustry does not need the helping hand
Of the government In order to stand IN
competition with foreign countries.
The committee feels warranted in
recommending that the duties be placed
upon a distinctly revenue basis"
The report declares that the rates
should be made low enough to permit
potential competition from imports for
the sake Of natural and proper reguls-
ton of domestic prices and concludes.
1T is believed that the rates provided
Tor in this bill are competitive and II
enacted would effect substantial
