Uneasiness from GM Strike Continues, Too Big to Ignore By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (AP) The nation's economy outside General Motors itself should be littte hart if the big auto company's strike ends soon. If work resumes in another week or so, GM would push hard to speed production and get new model cars to dealers now hurting and worried. The company's suppliers, including the steel mills, would also work at top speed to send parts and materials. A bobble in the industrial production index may show up on the chart of current activity But most economic forecasters expect lost time to be made up ir, November and December at the latest all this, of course if the strike ends shortly. This is probably why the administration and the stock market have been, taking the strike fairly calmly.

Their optimism is based on the union-management settlement of national issues and the belief that troublesome Iocs. plant squabbles must yield to compromise soon the sooner better for the general economy. If the strike doesn't end soon there could be real scars. The eason this one company's labor troubles are so important to the economy is this: It not only is far the largest firm in a basic industry, it is the biggest manufacturer in the nation. Together with its own output, and that of the suppliers of wrts, and the providers of steel and other materials, GM com mauds a sizable share industrial activity too big to be ignored.

Worse, any real threat of a prolonged work stoppage would ripple out to many other phases of business activity such as transportation and merchants who cater to laid-off workers. Since the strike, GM dealers report losing some sales because of delayed delivery. But their competitors insist their sales continue to boom. Steel production also holds high. The mills have a nice backlog of orders to keep them busy, orders from many other industries besides the auto firms.

Steel's big worry just now is the slowdown in orders from, or instructions to hold up shipments to, GM plants and parts suppliers. Steelmen stil believe that the shipment pres sure will be resumed once the local GM plant issues are cleared All this optimism, however, doesn't hide a deeper worry. This is the fear in some quar- ers that the national auto compacts will set a pattern for labor demands in other industries less avored by record profits to absorb the rise in production costs. Steel itself is on notice that next spring its union will press "or big gains. Steel executives arc dourly warning that price increases really are needed now and would be imperative if production costs rise.

This inflation threat is still just a conversation piece. But it is causing more and more uneasiness.
