A representative of Solidarity, Poland's in dependent trade union movement, marched in the Labor Day parade in New York yesterday and said that in two weeks he would open in New York the first foreign office of Solidarity. Zygmunt Przetakiewicz, 35 years old, said that he would be the managing director of a press and information office that would supply news of the union movement to American news organizations. Mr. Przetakiewicz, who speaks good English, arrived in New York two weeks ago and has taken office space at 260 Park Avenue South, the building occupied by the United Federation of Teachers.

The 100,000 marchers in the Labor Day celebration on Fifth Avenue yesterday possessed the energy and solidarity that a lot of people, including many labor leaders, believed had evaporated from the nation's working class. In the mood of the celebrants and much of the rhetoric, there was a suggestion that the enthusiasm could grow into a new movement among American trade unionists to oppose President Reagan's economic policies. Ten months ago, many union members voted for Mr. Reagan. Many still support him. But the parade was far more than a vestigial march to recapture the pride and militancy of the union movement of times past.

President Reagan's decision to cut $10 billion to $15 billion more from the 1982 budget is a deliberate signal to the financial markets that he is willing to sacrifice some of his ambitious military buildup to hold down budget deficits and regain credibility for his economic program. The President has not yet made a final decision on specific budget cuts, but the message he conveyed to his economic advisers this morning was a harbinger. From among the conflicting arguments of top advisers, some of whom had discounted the relative importance of budget deficits last spring, Mr. Reagan made the effort to hold the deficit for the fiscal year 1982 at $42.5 billion as his overriding concern. ''We've got to hold the budget deficit and stay on target,'' one aide quoted the President as saying to his economic council.

Hundreds of thousands of hastily printed ballots are being circulated throughout Egypt for Thursday's referendum on President Anwar el-Sadat's crackdown on religious extremists and on his political opponents. The ballot has a drawing with a Moslem sheik, a Coptic Christian priest, the flag of Egypt, a mosque, a church and a large olive branch. Underneath is the question: ''Do you agree with the measures and the principles of national unity and social peace?'' The voter can mark ''yes'' or ''no'' boxes. The speculation is that Mr. Sadat will receive an overwhelming endorsement of his tough moves to stifle religious dissent and curb opponents of his policies, such as the peace treaty with Israel. In past referendums, Mr. Sadat has always received ringing affirmations of 95 percent of the vote or more.

Like any number of cunning, seasoned traders in the Middle East, Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani, Saudi Arabia's oil minister, is a past master at weaving psychological tricks, intricate arguments and often brilliant acting to achieve his ends. Of late, Sheik Yamani has been resorting to old-fashioned threats. In an interview published yesterday in a London-based Arab newspaper, Asharq al-Awsat, Sheik Yamani threatened to keep Saudi Arabia's oil price at $32 a barrel for several years. ''Within the next few years,'' he said, ''there seem to be no factors of any kind which will allow the kingdom to increase its oil price.'' Such a stance would hurt his brethren in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries nearly as much as it would help Western consumers, and the statement was apparently part of Saudi Arabia's unrelenting strategy of bludgeoning other OPEC members into accepting lower prices.

The bonds of compromise, opportunism and West German prosperity that have held the governing coalition of Social Democrats and Free Democrats together for more than 11 years are pulling apart. It has become a political cliche in Bonn for editorial writers to say that the coalition will not last until the next elections in 1984 - these days, half the stories in West German newspapers seem to be headlined, ''The Beginning of the End'' - but the reality is that growing elements in both parties no longer have the formula or a very intense commitment to maintain the association. After a month of intracoalition bickering over a new budget and over how the cou ntry should deal with the eco nomic stagnation that last month produced the highest unemployment figures in 29 years, theargument took on a new shrillness over the we ekend. Willy Brandt, the chairman of the Social Democratic Party, said he ''wouldn't put his hand in the fire'' and swear that the coalition would last. His voice cracking with emotion, he told a group of party members: ''We've been leaned on. It's gone to the limit of what Social Democratic self-respect allows! When it's necessary, it will be clear for everybody who is responsible in this!''

International Defiance of Poland's leadership was expressed by the Solidarity union. The 890 delegates at the union's national convention in Gdansk asked the authorities to hold a referendum on the right of workers to manage factories. The unionists also suggested that other workers of the Soviet bloc create unions free of Communist Party control. (Page A1, Column 1.) An anti-U.S. protest in West Berlin is set for Sunday during the visit by Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. To the embarrassment of the Bonn Government and the dismay of many West Germans, the youth groups of the two parties in the ruling coalition vowed to proceed with the demonstration against what they see as an aggressive and reactionary American foreign policy.

Reporter's Notebook; Michael's Children Got News at Game

When Nancy Howser arrived at Royals' Stadium on Sunday, Sandy and Mark Michael were standing by the curb, waiting to pick up their tickets to the afternoon's Yankee game and eager to see their father manage his team to its eighth victory in 11 days. Mrs. Howser, whose husband was dismissed by the Yankees last fall and hired by the Royals nine days ago, realized immediately that Michael's children, both college students at the University of Kansas, had not yet heard the news of their father's dismissal. She dreaded the task of telling them, but she knew that she was especially qualified to comfort them. ''I told them that Gene was probably better off,'' Mrs. Howser said, ''and that there was nothing to worry about because George would take care of him.''

Judge Lawrence W. Pierce has spent most of his career in Federal, state and city positions in New York, with the last 10 years in Federal District Court. Yesterday, the White House announced its intention to nominate him for the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to fill the seat vacated by the death of Judge Murray I. Gurfein. Lawyers describe the 56-year-old Mr. Pierce as capable, careful and thoughtful, fair but firm, and considerate in court. His outside interests include sailing, gardening, museums, opera and ballet. He is a Republican. If the Senate confirms him, as expected, he will be the third black to serve on the Federal appeals court in Manhattan. The first, Thurgood Marshall, went to the United States Supreme Court. The second, Amalya L. Kearse, has been on the appeals court since 1979.
