    Rosser owed much of his success to the arbitration system established by the Liberal government in 1894. Unions needed the services of professional secretaries who had expertise in the seemingly arcane ways of the Court of Arbitration. In this role Arthur Rosser came into his own, and experienced some success in winning wage increases for his craft unions.
