There was a lot of business done between Chicago and Cleveland, especially during the Scalish-Accardo years. Scalish's brother in law Maishe Rockman was close to Allan Dorfman, Gus Alex and one of his closest lifelong friends was Bill Presser, arguably one of the most powerful members of the Teamsters executive board. I never said there wasn't any distrust between the two of them (Accardo/Scalish), but they did a lot of business together, mainly because both had high ranking Teamster officials that had the ability to make things happen.
