Senator Lehroot, Republican, Wisconsin, expressed regret that the reduc tion in pig iron was not carried throughout the steel schedule, but spokesmen for the committee explained that duties on elements entering into the finished steel had been increased to an extent that would not justify further cuts upon the finished products.
