Like a couple of boxers retiring to their corners after a grueling round, the Government and the independent trade union movement are each looking ahead to a respite from strikes and confrontations. Last week, for the first time since the end of the Christmas holidays, Poland was free of labor disruptions, sit-ins or other strife. The union has not formally endorsed the appeal made last month by the new Prime Minister, Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski, for ''90 days of peace.'' But in private talks with Government officials and in an interview given by the union spokesman, Karol Modzelewski, to a Warsaw newspaper, the union has made it clear that it is willing to go along with the idea.

The Gulf Oil Corporation said that its auditors, Coopers & Lybrand, had removed their qualified opinion from financial statements, retroactive to 1978. The auditors had qualified Gulf's financial statements for 1978, 1979 and 1980 because of the uncertain outcome of several uranium-supply suits faced by Gulf. Gulf said that by the end of 1980 it had resolved most of its disputes with the utility customers of its General Atomic Company subsidiary, recorded a provision for possible loss from supply of the uranium and settled its dispute with the Westinghouse Electric Corporation.

The resumption Wednesday of the antitrust trial against the American Telephone and Telegraph Company represents an unfavorable turn of events for the huge company, many industry analysts say. They argue that if the trial runs its course, perhaps a year or two, it could put off for that long a solution to the question of ground rules by which Bell must operate in new businesses in the telecommunications industry, such as information processing. If the consent decree settlement sought with the Justice Department had been along the lines widely reported, it could have resulted in significantly wider operating rights for Bell and on favorable terms. Such a settlement, it seemed, was nearly at hand between the Justice Department and A.T.& T. before talks broke down last week, setting the stage for resuming the historic antitrust trial.
