Taylor St. epicenter was in the old First Ward which ran all 50 Wards in Chicago. It was where the West Bloc of politicians was located.

All the other Crews were partnered with Giancana/Taylor St.
Everyone took their orders from Giancana who was backed up by Ricca and Accardo, mainly Ricca.

Giancana always had the edge along with Ricca because the Taylor St men were fiercely loyal to Mooney.
He pretty much sponsored most all of the capable guys from the old 42's into the Outfit and each man was given a specific responsibility.

Each guy then had their own small crew of men who worked under them full time.

Giancana was partnered with each man all by himself or with Battaglia and Bucciere who had made men with them.

The Bosses of the other Crews paid tribute to Giancana or Giancana got something else from a possible partnersip where money was fronted or because money had already been fronted previously by Ricca & Accardo who inherited money that was fronted by the previous Bosses all the way back to Capone.

Money stayed within the Outfit. It didn't go to wives and children. Trust me, I know. LOL.
