Back in the 50s and 60s the American Mafia was arguably the most powerful crime organization in the world. Magaddino was a founding member of the commission and Ontario was his territory. Certainly at this time his family was more powerful than any of the Calabrian 'ndrinas. I for one am not suprised these families were subservient to him.
