Relativistic potentials (generalizing the Breit-potential of quantum electrodynamics) between spin 1/2-electric and magnetic charges are presented, each monopole g/sub j/ having its own singularity-string along some direction n/sub j/. The monopole potentials involve integrations along the singularities. By using suitable gauge transformations and limiting procedures a simple form of the potential independent of n/sub j/ is derived, if the string connects two monopoles.
