Section 157, the provisions of the Factory and Workshop Act, 1901, relating to temperature,
drainage of floors, the exhibition of abstracts and certain other matters do not apply to workshops
conducted on the system of not employing children, young persons or women. In London, both in
factories and workshops, the provision of sanitary conveniences is regulated by Section 38 of the
Public Health (London) Act, 1891, the standard adopted being that required ljy the Sanitary
Accommodation Order of 4th February, 1903. The following Table shows the various trades and
